#Regram@phaidonsnaps ・・・ This is the late Lucian Freud’s wife Katherine, also known as Kitty. Freud - grandson of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, was famed for the intensity of his portraiture, often heightened by his use of impasto (the act of applying paint thickly). Girl With Kitten, (nice play on words there, Lucian) however, is an example of his earlier, more modernist style. The same scrutiny is applied in it: the work is charged with psychic intensity as Kitty stares into the distance, whilst the kitten's attention is trained on the viewer. Freud passed away on this day in 2011. #lucianfreud#freud …
